Jens Wendelstorf:     Numerics and software

3. Numerical software (CFD) for gas discharge modelling


Some additional details on this work can be be found in a consistent and scientifically elaborated form in my dissertation. The following introduction is short, but somewhat outdated.
Calculation codes for the following type of equations were successfully developed: For the multidimensional areas, the finite volume method is used. The software was developed application specific, including multigrid enhancement and the grid generator. This approach offers several unique features, especially for the (electric and thermal) boundary layer treatment. For accurate predictions, special attention to the selection of all boundary conditions is vital (even if these not contribute to the final sensitivity map), e.g.:
CFD problem
Here, the devil lies in the detail!
